What exactly makes a soda 'dirty'?

A soda is considered 'dirty' when it is customized with various add-ins like flavored syrups, fresh fruit, and most importantly, cream or half-and-half.

Can I make a Dirty Soda Recipe without caffeine?

Absolutely! You can use caffeine-free sodas like Sprite, Root Beer, or caffeine-free Coke. The flavor combinations are still delicious.

What is the best syrup brand to use for this recipe?

Torani and Monin are the two most popular brands used in professional soda shops. They offer a wide variety of flavors including the essential coconut syrup.

Do I have to use heavy cream?

While heavy cream provides the richest texture, you can use half-and-half, whole milk, or even dairy-free alternatives like coconut cream or almond milk creamer.
